One Mount to Rule them All!

Welcome to a very special afternoon session at the Biscuit Arms! Today, we're joined by Minh from MLAstro ( ‪@MLAstro_Official‬ ) all the way from Vietnam to break down the design philosophy behind the brand new MLAstro One. This beast of a harmonic mount can carry a massive 35kg payload, comes in at around £2.5k, and even supports automatic polar alignment. Grab a drink and join the discussion as Minh dives deep into the engineering choices that make this mount so unique!
